Having been beaten just a head on her recent reappearance at Redcar, WITHOUT FLAW is taken to go one better. Stroxx was in good form prior to his Southwell flop 11 days ago and he is second choice ahead of Latin Five, who could appreciate the return to this course. Jamie Bond and Azucena are others who could run well.[Ben Hutton]

Beaten 16 times since sole win in July 2023 but she returned to form with a head second at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on her recent seasonal debut; major player if backing up that performance.
Disappointing at Musselburgh last month but close third of five at Newcastle (5f, AW) previously and his sole win came over this C&D; no surprise if he bounces back with a good run now back here.
Better could have been expected at Redcar recently but he was a close third over this C&D two starts ago and he also ran really well over C&D last April; very much of interest on that course form.
Well handicapped on last year's best efforts and she could improve for last month's reappearance at Thirsk; however, her wins have come on good to soft/soft going and she's unraced on fast ground since her 2023 debut.
Beaten a head by Stroxx over C&D (good) on reappearance and she's 1lb lower today; however, two lesser runs have followed (including over C&D) and she needs to get back on track.
Disappointing at Southwell (5f, AW) 11 days ago but in good form previously, winning over this C&D before a close fourth at Redcar when fading late at 6f; can play a leading role if leaving last time behind.
Ex-Irish 4yo who made it 0-8 when fifth of six on recent stable and seasonal debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm); however, she was upset in the stalls and failed to settle, and was beaten only about 3l; could take a step in the right direction today and she's not discounted.
Not at the top of her game on her last few outings in the winter; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn at Musselburgh last month (11-2 at the time); however, she's well handicapped on form as recent as last autumn and she's been placed on her last three visits to Catterick; a possible.
Just one win from his 20 starts but that came at Beverley (5f, good) last September and he was a fair sixth of 13 over this C&D (good to firm) last month when best of those who were held up; might not be far away.
Won at Newcastle (5f, AW) last October; 0-10 on turf but has a lower grass mark and she faded when a fair sixth of 17 on last month's reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); could have a part to play now back down to 5f.
Down the field on reappearance at Redcar three weeks ago and now 0-17; however, he may have needed that run and he has an each-way shout on the pick of last season's best efforts (including over C&D); tongue-tie goes on.
